Sure Ignatieff wants to stick around at least until he qualifies for his pension entitlements.

So Iggy would be willing to prop up an NDP-led government. If this doesn't push the moderates toward a Conservative majority I can't imagine what would.

Let's have 20 political parties, each with their own pet projects who can gang-up on the leader and ankle-bite him/her to death.

Yeah, that's good for democracy. What could possibly go wrong?

WHAT A PUTTS.Don't give him a shovel or we'll have a political china syndrome on our hands.

Mr. Iffy would not even make a good Tourism Minister, as he would not be able to decide whether tourists should come to Canada or Canadians should visit other countries.

Iggy is in full desparation mode. Seems pretty obvious that the Libs are in serious trouble. God how nice would it be if the voters in Etobicoke Lakeshore dumped his sorry ass.

Anti-Israeli and anti-semitic glue have bound and will continue to bind the leftards.

"Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff said he’d have no problems working with Layton if he was boss."

How magnanimous! Of course Igantieff will work with anyone,Layton,Duceppe,the Devil Himself(although I doubt he'd hang around losers like the three stooges), ANYONE, to be able to put "Canadian Government Cabinet Minister" on his resume.

President of Harvard in the interview,"oh yes, you worked in that Country up North,hm".

Iggy should stick to hockey.
Oh, wait. No, he keeps scoring on his own net.

Has this guy got a death wish or is he trying to beat Kim Campbell's record?

What needs to be asked is: how many would "work" with them?

Western Canadians better make up their minds right now, to prepare for civil unrest if they do not support the Separatist LIB?NDP?BLOC Party Coalition. Better start organizing now. The RAPE of Western Canada is being laid out now.

well here's a related poll that is going horribly and deservedly wrong - http://www.ctv.ca/qp/

If the Bruins beat the Canadiens, Iggy will be able to see the next playoff round when he gets back to Harvard.

Bob Rae in the photo in the link? Get ready to see and hear lots more of Mr Rae Daze as the Libranos allow The Count to impale himself.

Methinks the Libranos are keeping their Bob Rae powder dry until PMSH retires.

Submission.......

Just like a dog rolling over and lifting his leg.

I was just at the event today in Victoria that was live streamed. My kids had fun inspite of what the retards in the press spout off about. Terry Milewski was in an especially foul mood for his question today. I loved how they pulled his mic after he was done. Him and Fife both looked like they were ready to kill someone or something. Anyway it was a good event and very neat to see behind the scenes of the tour. Talked with the PM briefly and he seemed to be in good spirits.

Iggy says he'll work with any party. Here are the other Federal parties he's willing to work with.

Animal Alliance Environment Voters Party of Canada (founded in 2005) - environmentalist, animal liberationist
Canadian Action Party (founded in 1997) - populist, anti-globalizationChristian Heritage Party of Canada (founded in 1987) - social conservative
Communist Party of Canada (founded in 1921) - communist
Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist) (founded in 1970) - communist/Marxist-Leninist influenced by Maoism and the ideas of Enver Hoxha
First Peoples National Party of Canada (founded in 2005) - Aboriginal rights advocacy
Green Party of Canada (founded 1983) - Green
Libertarian Party of Canada (founded in 1975) - libertarian
Marijuana Party of Canada (founded in 2000) - pro-marijuana legalization
Rhinoceros Party (founded in 2006) - Joke party
Pirate Party of Canada (founded 2009) Copyright, Privacy, Network neutrality, Open government
Progressive Canadian Party (founded in 2004) - progressive conservative, Red Tory
United Party of Canada
Western Block Party (founded 2005) - western separatist and paleoconservative/libertarian conservative

James:
They took the Mike away from Milewski?
Oh,Oh! Big report coming up on the National tonight that they wouldn't let him question the PM.

That's a highly principled stand that Iggy is taking. Quite in your face of him, to show he'd do anything, anything to gain a seat in cabinet.

Minister of Silly Walks?

First he says Layton isn't competant to lead this nation but he's okay with joining forces with him to lead this nation. Jesus wept if the media weren't in bed with that fool he'd be scoring in the negative.

Oops. Mispelled mic! The trolls will get me now.

Effing hilarious. He might not have a problem with that situation, but I think the Liberal Party of Canada would ... hahahha!

Why wouldn't Iggy work with anybody?

The coalition agreement does not expire until June 30, 2011.

Look it up.

Hey Iggy, do you hear that sound?

That's the same bus that you helped to throw the hapless Dion under.

And it's coming for you!

Iggy announces he is a political whore; he didn't announce his price.

So which one would get the basement at Stornoway? Grandma suite for the Bloc?

All jokes aside...if PM Harper doesn't get a majority Govt. after this election, we are looking at Layton, Ignatieff, and Duceppe as Canada's next Govt. Who will be Prime Minister is who of the coalition gets the most seats. Libs vote Liberal...NDP vote NDP and Block vote ??? Whatever happens I am ill thinking about it.All the work put forward for the Country by PM Harper will go down the toilet and there are Canadians out there who are socialists and just don't see this. They will never get what the coalition are promising, and if they think that PM Harper can't work with them...wait and see how they won't be able to work with each other.Our economy will be destroyed and it makes me ill thinking about it.

As I mentioned here a couple of days ago the chances of Iggy working for Jack are like snowballs in hell. There are far too many 'Blue' Liberals occupying the back bench that would allow this to happen. If the CPC's don't get the required majority, say short by five or so seats you can bet the mortgage that enough Liberals will cross the floor to prevent Canada from becoming a financial basket case, like the PIIGS in Europe. These 'Blue' Liberals will have had enough of the "jaundiced Party Line sliding into NDP territory by the leadership of Rae, Dosanjh, and Dalliwal" and will start jumping ship. They've seen what the "socialist" future holds and they want no part of it.

Perhaps when Iggy goes back to Harvard Kim Campbell will give him a Gold Star for his outstanding political career.

Seriously, has anyone ever tanked a political campaign so completely? May 2nd will be a blowout.

I was at a hockey game last nite and a booing broke out.
Conspiculously it was booing for one politician but applause for another - hockey fans do have some sophistication.

I agree Antenor but not just 'Blue' Liberals who want get re-elected and realize being in a coalition that is at the mercy of the BLOC is not a good career move. If Layton is the Official Opposition leader, there are a also a handful of Lib MP's with big egos who would find it absolutely humiliating to take orders from Layton and the NDP.

If the NDP do manage to become the official opposition the Liberal Party will implode and that would not be a good thing because sooner or later thhe opposition becomes the government. God help us all.

Talk about being a useful idiot to a marxist.

I think whoever said Iggy is trying to get his six years two election wins in for the big fat pension is right on. Anyone with an ounce of class and dignity would resign upon a strong conservative win and and a loss of leader of the opposition to a commie hack with a cane.

what im hearing is mr flip flop just threw in the towel and we still have a week to go ?
its gonna be a great week watching the libs implode.

Iggy is running around like a drunk at closing time trying to pick up any troll he can. I can only hope that saner minds prevail come election day. It's a conservative majority or disaster. If Layton gets in charge it will be a race with Obummer to see which country will go over the cliff first. God Help Us is right!

Oh God if Terry Molester couldn't get his "slanted" question in to Harper there will be hell to pay on tonights National, somber Peter will, in his best golf announcer voice, question the CPC and their revving up of "People that are Effing Sick of Effing Lieberals". Foot on throat time people, this country is to great and about to be greater with a resounding Harper majority, we will benifit from the exodus of good people and manufacturers from, every lunatic jurisdiction, ala CA WA OR or whatever idiotic place they believed in "Glowball Warming, and stifled their inventive people, like Russia/China did for 70 years. With our dollar, and the successes of the last 5 years we will become the go to place for the brightest of the bright to grow businesses and thrive. And to make things fair to those places who have lost good people, we will sent them Iggula Jack and Gill, along with Dizzy May to round out their need for more COMMUNISTS, after all that is what is driving people out of these places.

"A commie hack with a cane."
Abe !
That's almost poetic.

The article says, "Ignatieff laughed at the “hypothetical” scenario..."

Canadians are beginning to laugh at the "hypothetical" leader of the Liberals.

If he keeps this up, he just may end up in 3rd or 4th place.

I probably should not comment if I ever want to go to Canada fishing for walleye anymore: customs would probably reject me. After all, I'm probably deemed dangerous with my fishing rod, non free-range beef jerky and free minded opinions on matter like these. Just saying.

Socialists are delusional. Jack and Gilles Canada will require more and more tax money to fund Utopian visions but, at the same time, they insist that industry must not bend a single blade of grass or damage the wings of even one butterfly. It amazes me that anyone can take them seriously. Ignatieff and the Liberals should have known better than to hitch their wagon to those fools (Stop listening to the progressive media and intellectuals). Oh, well, Michael wanted to be famous - it looks like infamy may have to suffice.

This whole entire election is a slow motion train wreck.

All harper needs to do is sit back keep his mouth shut unless required and coast to a majority these guy's are hilarious to watch ignatieff looks like a blindman who is drunk and his handlers are painting a clown face on him and put dunce hat on him got him drunk and blind folded him and are taking turns pushing him around a circle he is in the middle and one pushes him to the next so on and so on this guy is a spineless nerd who get's botox!!

At least jack layton sounds coherent but is still spewing his commie garbage i am sorry if this is offencive but i don't want my prime minister limping up on a stage with a cane and yammering on to the world about how terrible we are as a country if you want the world to laugh at you and your country just put wacko jacko in charge but i guess he is better that the lizard may , how much of a vegan diet can she be on she is like more than just big boneded lol!! harper is the right man for the job for now .

We NEED a swing way to the right here in canada soemoen that will slash the govornment by at least 50% and return those tax dollars back to people.

"I’ve said I’m willing to work with all political parties. All. Repeat All parties in the House."

Sure, and that's why he announced months before the budget was introduced that he would vote against it. If that's his definition of "with", I can only imagine what "against" is.

I will also say this if harper does not get a majority or if the three stooges for govornment i will be pushing for a split of ontario and separating canada into two halves ontario west and ontario east that will be the new canada and screw the rest of the country ...then what we should do is build up our military and invade eastern canada slaughter who ever does not want to join western canada and create a republic and start all over again !!! lol.

Ignatieff is a dictator, pure and simple.

Democratic leaders do not whip votes, especially on private member bills, which have traditionally been free votes.

Ignatieff has no respect for parliamentary tradition or democracy.

Geez Paul in Calgary-Slaughter??
Now that's a bit harsh!

paul in calgary,

There are a million trolls on this site just hoping to read a comment like you just made about splitting up Canada. I'm sure you're joking, but please refrain, just the same.

I thought that the Liberal campaign was going off the rails for a couple of weeks now, but I didn't think it would ever get this bad. Iggy has basically conceded defeat to both the Conservatives and the NDP. I would be very surprised at this point if the NDP doesn't become the official opposition.

Paul in Calgary's comments are no worse than some of the comments on the CBC's or the Globe and Mail's websites. At least when I read Paul's comment I know he is not serious, as opposed to some of the vile stuff over on the left.

M.Peltier >

"Democratic leaders do not whip votes"

Nor do they impose draconian gun legislation on a free and law abiding people.

The Liberals fight for the rights of criminals and criminalize the victims. Ignatieff made his stand by whipping his party into voting to make Canadians defenceless against the Liberal onslaught of domestic & imported criminals.

It's lucky guns are so restricted in Canada or else Iggy would have shot his own foot to pieces by now.

"The National Pharmaceutical Strategy: a 'prescription unfilled'"

"Before we get to what the parties are saying, it helps to understand what this national strategy entails, at least as it was envisioned when the federal, provincial and territorial governments signed a 10-year health accord in 2004 that was supposed to be a "fix for a generation."

I think what we are seeing here is the death of the Liberals and the rebirth on the NDP. We are about to go through what the US is going through. Politics will be polarized. On one hand you will have government unions and race baiters and on the other hand working people and businesses. The takers vs the makers. There is no squishy middle ground for the Liberals to occupy anymore. There is no money left for them to squander.

"Democratic leaders do not whip votes"

Nor do they impose draconian gun legislation on a free and law abiding people.

The Liberals fight for the rights of criminals and criminalize the victims.

You got that right. Cretian whipped the vote to ram the long-gun registry and search and seizure down the throats of law abiding Canadians.
Iggy is continuing that reprehensible tradition.

LOL! These SDA threads are a laugh a minute these days. This has got to be the best election campaign entertainment I've had EVAH!!

I was in Toronto's Chinatown this afternoon and saw more Conservative signs in the business windows than Olivia Chow's.

I'm hoping Chinatown's business leaders are on the CPC side now because of the Tories supporting the business owner in the incident with the returned shoplifter being held by the owner until the cops arrived to arrest the shoplifter and went after the owner too.

BTW, there's a strip of public land near my house where the Green and NDP signs haven't been touched but the CPC ones have been knocked down. I expect the MSM to be reporting on it any minute now.

@ trent

I will say what ever i feel like and i felt like saying that ....why? look at the mess we are in ...of course i am not serious about "slaughtering" anyone you moron....buti am serious about splitting canada if the cons do not get the confidence of the house then the govorner general will appoint the opposition and at that point i will be pushing for a break up of canada ...do i want any part of that no i want this country to be as solid and strong and free as possible but if our govornment get's formed by one person i will absolutley want to separate i am sooo tired of this garbage pile of a govornment .

Harper is the best i have ever known yet the cbc and all the rest will have you think different and i respect there bias but i am being forced to pay for it at least now i have an option but that was not without a bitter fight ......I would heart broken if canada were to ever split up for any reason but at some point you need to ask yourself Am i willing to have my kids there kids so on and so forth keep paying for the "country of quebec"? and the likes i say if your province sink's iti s anexed by the province that can afford it and all of it's law's and policies are changed to match that of the purchaser and if you are a purchaser or a producing or a "have" province you get to decide your rules in your province while using a common sence aproach to the federal law's whne it comes to disagreement's between the province and the feds ...anyway i know i left some bait for the trolls but they can go pound sand if they want o take my comment's out of context they can buti will prove them wrong and the truth will set me free!!

lol.

Simply Devine: a sad tale.

It was a dark and stormy night, and Tall Jack Cane had just entered the polling booth, when to his left, Iggy and Lizzie, arms locked, jettisoned their frantics and ......

...-

"Tale of a frustrated Liberal

By the time the rally wound down, Patti Devine was frantic.

The long-time Liberal attended the party's event yesterday in Summerside, P.E.I. because she wanted to see Michael Ignatieff in person and "to see how passionate he really is."

Devine says she liked what she saw, especially how the Liberal leader tailored his speech to Prince Edward Island with examples about the Tignish fish plant and federal breakwater at Stanley Bridge.

But the self-described political junkie says she's still flabbergasted. "I don't know really what's going on. I don't know why the national polls are not reflecting this enthusiasm from Liberals."

Devine says it might not be good for her health but she can't tear herself away from poll data suggesting a virtual tie for second place between the NDP and Liberals.

"I guess it's the Quebec numbers that are putting the NDP up so high. The NDP it's like a utopia, right? I mean yes, I think they're an important voice to have but it's not realistic. We have to pay for what we're going to do."

As for what she feels Ignatieff has to do in the last week of this campaign, Devine raises her arms in a sort of "who knows?" kind of gesture.

She suggests he should do more townhall events where people meet him face-to-face. "I don't know what more he can do."

As for Devine, she says she's looking forward to when she can focus on something else."

I respect your opinion about my opinion but don't ask me to refrain becasue it will only encourage me to spew lefty type vitrol with a conservative twist get it ?

And i so would love to finish of what the british left behind but that is wrong and well unfair so we will just have to live with the french people i alway's think of french people like baby robin's in then est who wait for momma to come home and puke food into there gaping mouth's the only difference is that the robins grow up and eventually leave the nest and learn to provide for themselves.

"I was in Toronto's Chinatown this afternoon and saw more Conservative signs in the business windows than Olivia Chow's."

Most of them came here to escape Chinese Communists. Why would the vote for one?

Down with the socialist Separatist Coalition.

A Conservative majority government is absolutely necessary to preserve Canada from the traitorous socialists of the Separatist Coalition.

Vote Conservative.

Stand with PM Harper.

The key to the Chinese vote is lower taxes.

That's why Harper needs to get to Vancouver this week.

The whole Liberal multicultural rainbow society shtick only goes so far with the Chinese. Even less than their propensity to vote for any party bathed in lucky RED. Never step between a Chinese mama bear and her dough, which was why the new HST ain’t going over so well.

Iffy watched that Seinfeld episode last night after the hockey game where George did the opposite that he would usually do. That is the only explanation where he would relegate himself to third place. Of course it worked for George but we are talking politics and voting day will be ugly for the liberals now.

I predicted a minority Tory government back when smalldeadanimals put up the prediction page.

I think I was horribly wrong.

This campaign is probably going to be historical in a 1993 level way.

Vote splitting, weak Liberals, weird Quebec voting patterns, united right....

Something massive one way or another is about to happen next week.

Ignatieff has flip-flopped on everything including his marriage vows. What he says should not even be considered news until he proffers the opposite opinion - then we can take the average.

Let's see: two parties that want to spread my middle class "wealth" to the point that it would make more sense to go on welfare, a party that wants to break up Canada, but keep their Canadian pensions, and a bunch of tree huggers. I'll stick with Mr. Harper, thank you. Not perfect but by far the best option for our nation.

These people are willing to work for him, but who are they?

http://www.avaaz.org/ca/

All I can find is they are a creation of moveon.org and Res Publica.

I suppose Mr Ignatieff can be forgiven for wanting to work with his fellow Americans, but this is odd

I think the Iffy campaign is being run by the Marx brothers.
The only time Iffy didn't listen is when Groucho advised, "I refuse to belong to any organization that will allow guys like me as a member."

Bob Rae is looking pretty smug in that photo-op with Iggy trying his best to be brave.

Bob the undertaker...that's right...just biding his time,waiting for the building blocks of his/the new party to fall neatly into place.
You see Bob's got everything to smile about 'cause it doesn't matter what Iggy says...he's not in charge,... he's just the over emotional easily plied frontman for the 'power-ful' back room cabal who at this time,don't give a jacks**t which one of their flunkies wins/appear to run the show.
I think Bob Rae at this time is beyond wanting to front the 'party'...that's not where the power is any more.
Expect to see him after the the smoke clears and the mess is cleaned up and a united-left-under-one-banner party emerges.

In their world anyone is expendable who can't stay ahead of the wave.Clearly Iggy cannot... but he's useful right now.

I believe that the most interesting part of this power grab will be the election results and should the CPC win a majority they had better dilligently watch their backs.

Ghost -- cute!

Powercorp always has more than one jockey in the race.

Paul in Calgary, we all know what you mean, and we are all sick of sending Quebec, BILLIONS of dollars from the hard work of Albertans working in the evil OILSANDS/Agriculture and whatever else we bust our asses every-day to send east. Remember, a lot of the workforce here in Alberta came from the east, they are helping and we will prevail, Harper will get 195 to 197, I said it before and I will say it again. Canadians want to work, contribute and have a safe criminal free place to raise their families, with lieberals stuffed into the closets of history, we will have taken care of theives to start.

HOW TO START EACH DAY WITH A POSITIVE OUTLOOK...

1. Open a new file in your computer.
2. Name it "Michael Ignatieff".
3. Send it to the Recycle Bin.
4. Empty the Recycle Bin.
5. Your PC will ask you: 'Do you really want to get rid of "Michael Ignatieff?"
6. Firmly click 'Yes.'
7. Feel better?
GOOD!-------Tomorrow we'll do "Jack Layton", and the next day we'll do "Gilles Duceppe"
